I combine dyes in order to make a darker, richer black. The easiest way is Brown and Navy blue dye, but I use Red, Green and Blue. I always eyeball my dyes so I can't tell you the exact ratio.
Long bloomers under shorter skirts/longer tops is such a good idea! I have some dresses that are a little too short for me to be comfortable wearing without tights so I've been trying to figure out how to wear them in summer, and bloomers might do the trick!
Bloomers are expected to return to mainstream fashion this year! Of course in those not so cute versions that look more like frilly shorts of the 2010s but whatever (maybe some people still have some of those in their closets and can give them a second run) I have been wanting to make some bloomers to wear as undergarments but your outfits are very inspiring to use them as outerwear too, thanks!
I wear pj shorts as my underwear, sometimes they are very long pj shorts, almost peeking out from under my skirts. Bloomers seem like a logicall continuation for this fashion choice, so thank you for the patterns. I can't wait till I'll walk around wearing folk skirt, bloomers, binder and silly tshirt (no boobs, powerful hips).
One of my favourite things to sew is similar to bloomers, but they're full length pants. Like a sweatpants pattern, but out of thin cotton. I don't like a lot of the hyperfeminine look of lolita, but this style is something I could get behind. Especially where I often have to wear compression socks, the longer ones could be a good style that would work for me for summer. I'll have to go make some.
I'd like to wear bloomers more often but because they don't match the overall style of my wardrobe it's quite difficult to wear them as much as I'd like. That being said, the outfits you did with the black and pink bloomers match the things I already have and are pit together in a way I don't remember seeing before. I'll definitely try styling my clothes like that! Thank you so much for making this video 💞✨
ahhh! i love bloomers - they look like such a cute little garment and some long bloomers/pumpkin pants feel like they'd make a more androgynous lolita style outfit. i've been itching to get some. this is such a helpful video!
What a fun lookbook! Even though they didn't come out the color you wanted, I really like the look of the charcoal bloomers, and they looked amazing with the Gunne Sax bodice. I also really liked that first ott outfit with the strawberry bloomers--that strawberry cap headpiece wins me over every time!
your videos never fail to get me in such a crafty mood. ive had a project that i've been meaning to start for a week that i am now finally getting motivation to do!!
love this video! I have had a pair of pastel yellow polka dot bloomers with frills and heart pockets (originally bought for fairy kei) since ~2013 but they get very little wear despite that I love bloomers! They're so short and So Poofy since they're made of thick fabric, hopefully this video will help me coord them again.
I love this! It's super nice to see so many different styles of outfits, and especially the darker colors. My style is quite different from yours, but I always love what you have to say about building outfits, and your style in general. I've been thinking about making a pair of historical split drawers (which may or may not actually split), a la Bernadette Banner's combinations, but never knew how I would actually style them. This has definitely got me thinking, and I may actually do it this year!
I haven't even started the video but I wanted to let you know I finally purchased a FashionBrandCompany Sex House Sweater!! I've been pining over the different releases for like a year since you introduced them in a video and I finally secured one! It's a resale because I was in love with the 'rainy day' release and it sold out before I could get one but I'm so excited, thank you for being a sustainable style inspiration! Your content has really helped me develop my personal style and do so as sustainably and DIY as possible, I'm a huge fan!
pumpkin pants looks very good with any fitted top is what I've learnt. My fav is the last outfit, I feel like it would be easy to create a clown/jester look & I could imagine how cool it'd look with puffy bolero sleeves & matching stand alone collar
We have very different styles, but this video is inspiring me to find interesting ways to style shorts, despite being a little insecure about my bare legs
Your comments on outfit 14 remind me of Ian Malcom from the Jurassic Park novel. He states that he only wears black and grey so that he's always co-ordinated and not having to worry about what he grabs from the closet. Love the video and how much you are able to repurpose clothing that would otherwise have been thrown out. Amazing how I can miss 1 video, and the algorithm decides to not list you. You haven't been on my feeds in 6 months or more. Keep up the good work.
Your videos are always so detailed. Love the historical analysis as well. Thanks for your work! I've been trying to find a pair of bloomers at the thrift for years
Go to the thrift the SECOND they start putting out Halloween stuff. You’ll have to beat your local lolitas to it, but one year I found three pairs in a single trip.
This is perfect! i have a taobao dress that's just a wee bit too short for comfort (tol-lita problems), so i've been wanting to find/make long bloomers to go with
omg okay idk if this is common, but whenever i get really happy and excited i also get a little anxious with anticipation, and looking at your coords makes me feel SO happy i get heart flutters HAHAHA i love the way you style things! and i love how excited it always makes me to buy/make new things and try them out! i find more and more things to look forward to in life everyday and i'm so glad to have found your channel, you fuel my love for creation and fashion
I've said before that the pumpkin pants remind me of Haru from Persona 5, but omg the first outfit with those reminds me so much of her Musketeer suit... they're absolutely adorable and I love the outfits you made with them!! :3
I didn’t know bloomers were what I was trying to bring to my wardrobe until this video. I’m tired of always using leggings, but can’t seem to find cute fabric bottoms that are not pants, capris, or booty shorts
Bloomers so cute... but this is the first time I'm seeing your new haircut and I love it!!!! Now back to the video... Wait... I have watched your last video...never mind ignore me... im just going to go sit over there
your style is so adorable!! i personally dont wear this style but the way you style your clothes is so unique and cute :) my friends been trying to get into this style so im really happy that she'll see your videos for inspo :D
Love the pricely vibes on outfit #2, you look absolutely dashing. I can picture you weilding an elegant silver sword and riding into battle on a beautiful white steed 💕🐎🗡
I can’t find the video of you modifying the skirt into pumpkin pants, could you drop the link? This is your first video I’ve ever watched and you dropped it right when I was looking for bloomer tutorials and styling!! Subbed :)
Did you say what pattern you used for the pink pumpkin pants? I've been looking to make something almost exactly like those for myself and haven't found just the right pattern yet. I checked the two from the description and neither looked like it from a quick look
PLEASE , please, can you share where you got the pattern for the pumpkin pants or anything similar? I would be so interested in a tutorial even, you look amazing in them!
To make it more confusing; some older GLBs and Gosurori mooks refer to bloomers as "drawers" sometimes, usually for shorter bloomers but not consistently so. This use of the word never caught on in the english speaking lolita community because of already existing connotations. So bloomers were the preferred term for both longer and shorter bloomers. Outfit 9 and 15 are my favorites. When showing off long bloomers I like the idea of wearing a short lolita dress (ala meta Trumpet Sleeve Babydoll OP) or a shorter sack dress with them. RRM bloomers; Holy moly you got sent 128 pound bloomers! Even factoring in that they pay their staff a living wage and source their materials sustainably I don't personally think those are worth the price. I mean back in the day when Btssb was still making their stuff in japan their bloomers were 8000~9000 yen, which would be roughly 9600yen today. It makes no sense to me why someone would buy the RMM ones. They look worse (imo) and are more expensive than brand bloomers, and this is an item that receives considerably more wear and tear than dresses, skirts and blouses. If someone didn't want to buy brand because of sustainability they could still buy secondhand, but then some people consider buying second hand bloomers "gross" or they may not fit into brand bloomers. If that is an issue the most sustainable ways would be to make some yourself, perhaps even from fabric you already have or a skirt that you can upcycle.
